If you knew the date codes, id recommend doing what you suggest but towards the edge of the range have it like you have now... Ive had wiis with similar serials be upto 10-15 weeks different dates. So are you get near the edge of the compatible range you might start getting some cover over... With a boot2 capable wii with a higher serial when a lower one isnt boot2 capable.

LU1030 -> LU10954LU3535 -> LU4054

When a number is added at the beginning or end of the range, I will then make an update. I will bump this up in priority as I told Nightstah and now you/the public to be expecting an update.

I'm not insulted (although it is so personal!), I just wondered if I understood this correctly. As for the range thing, wouldn't it be best to have all of them included, just in case there is a "range" you are missing? Here is an example:

Part of the LU list

Had someone not posted LU5674, it would have appeared that LU5660 and LU5748 were in the same range. If you want, I will go through the posts later and give you a list of any that aren't added in the list, then you can decide if you want to add any of them.Joostin enters sneaky mode.
Another option that would make things easier on you is if you made me a staff member. I could then add the serial numbers myself, because I want to help and definitely not because I want to take over WiiHacks. Just look at my honest face!Joostin smiles showing his gold tooth.

I'm always open to suggestions but I still think it would be a lot cleaner to just include ranges. As far as the LU5674 number, I'm not sure I believe it isn't boot2 compatible. I got the base of this list from another site and until it is disputed, I will include a range just for it (when someone says I have a LU56 that is boot2 compatible).

Thanks for your input. :)

not sure if I like the range idea. Not all numbers in a range are confirmed....
maybe you should add a line like "if you're serial number is close to one on here, it's just like that one...." (actually, you'll probably want something more official sounding)

Before making joostin staff, I HIGHLY recommend you think through that decision CAREFULLY. :p
and white suit joostin?

lol....

You have to think about it this way... All of these numbers (except for the one Joostin pointed out) are already in different ranges between compatible and not compatible. All LU10 Wiis are compatible and all LU11 Wii are not. All LU30 -> LU34 are compatible and LU35 -> LU40 are not. I believe it is safe to say that anything between those numbers are an easy call (or at least until I'm proven wrong :p) I don't think that Nintendo would screw up their serial number ordering that much.

guess I was thinking of making the ranges too specific.
Now it sounds like it'll work.

Your choice though.

Id do something like

(made up serials as on phone and cant see post at the same time)

LU30 -> LU49 compatible
List LU49 to LU50 as you have now separately
LU50 -> LU60 not compatible

Etc.
So you cover large area with range and more info like you have now on the edges of where ranges meet

Hello, can anyone confirm if serial LU5302 is boot2 capable? don't see it on the list.

I looks like it but the best way to find out is to run the Hackmii installer. It will tell you if it is or not.

I was wondering if anybody knows if LU66293959 would be compatible, I could not find it anywhere. Thanks in advance.
